June 2008

June 29, 2008: I am writing this while Phillip does my contract work for me
Comments: 13 | Categories: Stupid thing we did last night , When I was a kid
When I was 8 or 9 years old I was in a community theater production of A Christmas Carol. I don't quite know why my parents let me do this, since the theater was quite a ways from our house...

June 27, 2008: Five

In college, in the spring before the summer before we started dating, Phillip and I went on a camping trip. NOT BY OURSELVES, like the Non-Denominational College Fellowship would have allowed THAT. And not that we would have anyway, because...

June 26, 2008: Well, this is depressing

Jack is now having meltdowns when Phillip leaves for work. We have to distract him and have Phillip sneak out somehow. Then he's clingy and/or getting into everything he's not supposed to be getting into. Which means I am picking...

June 25, 2008: The best I can say
Comments: 6 | Categories: Baby Cheung v2.0
The second floor of my house is one big room. Kitchen at one end, living room at the other end, dining room table in the middle. During dinner last night (which I actually MADE, for REAL, with an OVEN) I...

June 23, 2008: Add three house plants, subtract one car
Comments: 12 | Categories: Awesome , Baby Cheung v2.0 , Too much going on
My car is now posted for sale on Craigslist. SOB. As much fun as I've had shopping for the Next Family Vehicle (and it HAS been fun), I don't really want to get rid of my car. I want some...

June 22, 2008: I NEEDED a glass of wine

Last September, when Jack was about 4 months old, the three of us took a little weekend trip to Lake Chelan. Lake Chelan, for you un-local types, is east of the mountains. As in, you have to drive over the...

June 20, 2008: A super random cap of a fairly boring week

I finally figured out how to deal with the nap stuff. DON'T PLAN ANYTHING. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. It makes TOTAL SENSE that if you have nothing to do all day every day, then...

June 19, 2008: Owie! And also: stop calling me.

ETA: Oops. I forgot to include my contractually obligated link. Go here to find out what we are doing with our ginormous coffee table. THE EXCITEMENT NEVER ENDS! I forgot to mention one other downside to working a contract gig:...

June 18, 2008: I'll just throw anything up here and see if it sticks
Comments: 6 | Categories: Cranky
My sister and I are sitting here drinking coffee. We're at my parents' house. Jack is napping upstairs. My parents are out grocery shopping. And my sister and I are very very bored. "Help me write a blog post." "What?"...

June 17, 2008: Today's Channel 13 forecast: "cold, murky and chilly." And I did not make that up.

Here are two things I am not worried about: how Jackson is going to feel about the new baby and whether I will love the new baby as much as I love my first baby. When I hear people talk...
